You are wrong. You should check the facts before posting.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format

   Portable Document Format (PDF) is an open standard for document exchange. This file format,
   created by Adobe Systems in 1993, is used for representing documents in a manner
   independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.[
   ...
   While the PDF specification was available for free since at least 2001,[4] PDF was
   originally a proprietary format controlled by Adobe, and was officially released as an open
   standard on July 1, 2008, and published by the International Organization for
   Standardization as ISO 32000-1:2008.[1][5] In 2008, Adobe published a Public Patent License
   to ISO 32000-1 granting a royalty-free rights for all patents owned by Adobe that are
   necessary to make, use, sell and distribute PDF compliant implementations.[6]
